Hardy's Reindeer Ranch was created in 1995 by
Julie and Mark Hardy and family when they purchased their first two reindeer to help sell
Christmas Trees on their farm.

After 10 in business, Hardy's Reindeer Ranch
now has 16 reindeer, 5 acres of Christmas trees, a barn gift shop and a western style
banquet hall hosting groups year 'round and individuals and families in the fall and
Christmas time.

In 1997, Mark and Julie went to
Alaska and purchased 13 more reindeer. They were put in special crates and shipped
in 747 airplanes. "So it is true. Reindeer really do fly."
